Dead Woman’s Hollow plays closer to a crap episode of Criminal Minds than it does a horror movie. Right down to the vaguely based on true events concept. 3/10

While Cuckoo is an imperfect movie, I respect it for taking risks, having original ideas and getting a few good, scary moments. 7/10
Sisters of the Plague is dead boring. 2.7/10
Chuck Chuck Baby was an unusual delight of a movie. A queer musical set in a chicken factory. The final product is so assured, so well-done and so delightful. 7.2/10
Cheap, amateur and uninspired, Louise and Her Lover is a chore to sit through. 1.9/10
The brief period of time where at least in fiction, you could hide away from the troubles of the world in the arms of a pretty girl might be coming to an end. In its place is Foreign Language, where even in the arms of a pretty girl, the rise of far-right extremism and environmental collapse loom ever-present. 7.7/10
Baja Come Down just doesn’t give you enough reason to care about any of this. It fails to elevate this realistic story into something that feels like art that would move its audience. 2.8/10
Suicide Kale is fine. It has some minor laughs, mild intrigue and some genuine empathy at its centre. But it’s not exactly a standout in any way. 5.5/10
Cora Bora is a fun, very modern comedy. It’s not a romance, but is focused on various relationships. And the focus of said relationships is largely what’s funny about them? And the answer is a lot. 6.8/10
Splendid Isolation is some sort of ambient apocalypse. I’m not entirely sure I’m on board with that as a mood. But I still respect this film’s uniqueness, intent and especially its incredibly strong visuals. 5.6/10
